Cessna 404 Titan
The Cessna 404 Titan is the largest and most powerful of Cessna's piston-twin light transport family, built with a reinforced structure and a large cargo door for commuter airline and freight operators. Its higher gross weight and more powerful engines than the related 402 let it carry heavier loads over longer distances, aimed squarely at scheduled small-airline and package-delivery use. Several militaries adopted lightly modified versions for utility transport and aerial survey duties. It remains a common sight in cargo-hauling fleets, valued for its payload capacity relative to its piston-engine operating cost.

Unlike the shared-fuselage 402/414/421 family, the 404 Titan uses its own larger-diameter fuselage, giving it noticeably more cabin room.
